FortiSwitch 

This course is intended for networking and security professionals involved in the management, configuration, administration, and monitoring of FortiSwitch devices used to provide secure network access to endpoints

Explore the FortiSwitch portfolio and identify the supported management modes

Describe and deploy FortiSwitch in managed switch mode (FortiLink mode)

Understand Ethernet switching, VLANs, link aggregation (LAG), MCLAG, and Layer 2 discovery

Identify the most common FortiSwitch topologies when deploying FortiSwitch in managed switch mode

Understand Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP) operation and configuration, as well as other loop protection features

Describe and configure Layer 2 security to filter unwanted traffic and perform antispoofing

Configure Layer 2 authentication using 802.1.X, and leverage 802.1X to assign dynamic VLANs to endpoints

Implement advanced features to increase port density, control network access, forward multicast traffic more effectively, and quarantine compromised devices

Prioritize traffic on FortiSwitch by using QoS marking, queuing, and rate limiting features

Simplify endpoint deployment by using Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED)

Share FortiSwitch ports across different VDOMs using multi-tenancy

Monitor FortiSwitch using SNMP, sFlow, and flow sampling

Describe the most useful troubleshooting tools available on FortiSwitch

In this interactive course, you will learn how to deploy, provision, and manage a FortiSwitch with FortiGate using FortiLink

This course also covers the deployment and troubleshooting of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, as well as the most common FortiSwitch stack topologies, including those that leverage multichassis link aggregation group (MCLAG) for redundancy and higher performance

You will also learn about FortiSwitch in standalone mode, its unique features, and how to manage a standalone switch directly, or from FortiLAN Cloud
